GALVESTON, Tex. —UP)— Two
boys who blazed away at officers
and dog catchers in what they
called defense of their pup were
told today to “go home and get
back in school and let those rifles
alone.”
Probation officer George Cusick
gave the boys the advice after a
talk with them, the parents of one
lad and two dog catchers.
The lads, both 14, held a dozen
officers and two armed dog catch
ers at bay for more than an hour
with a .22 rifle Wednesday. The
shooting followed an attempt by
a dog catcher to pick up the boys’
small black dog. They said the
city worker, Otis O’Callahan, tried
to shoot the dog.
Cusick said he would talk with
a judge about withdrawing the
charges of assault to murder and
dischargeing firearms within the
city limits filed against Robert
Garcia and Charles Layman. The
dog, described as a mongrel,
“Blackie,” remained in the city
pound.
A special meeting of the City
Commission called by Mayor Geo.
Clough voted to disarm all except
the head dog catcher. The latter
was permitted to retain a shotgun
but his assistants were instructed
not to carry arms in the future.
Clough called the meeting after
irate citizens rallied to the boys’
behalf. The Galveston News was
flooded with calls.
Meanwhile, a movement was
launched to raise $17 to spring
“Blackie” from the pound. The
dog was placed in the pound for
observation after one of the dog
catchers said he was bitten in the
encountci’. The city figured the
cost at $17 for the 14-day period,
including $1 per day for keep and
$3 for a license.
The dog catcher, O’Callahan,
was accompanied by another, Irv
ing Brown, said the boys’ dog bit
him when he tried to check it for
tags.
Mrs. Ruby Dantin, mother of
the Layman boy, broke in.
“If you wanted to catch it—the
dog—why did you shoot at it.”
“I started to pick up the dog
and he bit me on the leg,” O’Calla
han replied. He said he fired to
frighten it.
The boys grabbed the dog and
ran.
Police said the lads got a .22
rifle. Neighbors, who heard the
boys threatening to kill the dog
catchers, called police.
Officers chased them into a
swampy area. The boys didn’t
fire, officers said, until they spot
ted the dog catchers. Then they
blazed away. Police said officers
fired into the air to frighten the
boys.
Finally juvenile officer John
Kaiser, speaking over a loud
speaker, persuaded the boys to
surrender. They spent the night
in jail.
“We didn’t want to shoot any
policemen. We wanted the dog
catcher,” Kaiser quoted the boys
as saying.

SENATE REFUSES
EMPLOYE PAY HIKE
AUSTIN, GP)—The House went
into a marathon session last nighi
as backers of bigger pay increases
for state employes slowed con
sideration of the major appropria
tion bill almost to a halt.
Shadows of new tax needs, part
icularly if raises for state em
ployes and public school teachers
go through, dogged the session.
Twelve proposals to give the
state’s 35,909 regular employes
larger raises than were included
in the two billion dollars spending
bill were defeated by votes rang
ing from 72-70 to 81-54.
Several times motions to recess
for dinner, to adjourn until tomor
row morning, or to adjourn until
Monday were shouted down.
Most of the members also were
leery of other proposed amend
ments.
A provision recommending trans-
i’er of the Corsicana Orphans Home
to the state welfare department
was removed by unanimous agree
ment.
